Tae Kwon Do is a DO!

Sarah had so much fun attending her first martial arts class yesterday. I have a feeling she will benefit from this class in many ways! The focus on respect was great; you bow when entering/leaving the ring, you address your teacher as Master or Sir, and every time you are addressed you answer with a loud Sir! Also, when punching and kicking you scream a loud Heya! Great way to release stress, something unfortunately even kids suffer from today...

Sarah was definitely not as flexible as the other kids (yet), and when we got home she was sore after trying to do splits. BUT she was really excited bout what they had done in class, and we practiced together. I would have loved to take some kind of martial arts when I was a kid, but it wasn't available where I lived. I think I was greatly inspired by the Karate Kid movies... :-)

Vad kul att Sarah gillade det så mycket. Jag tror hon kommer att fortsätta ha jättekul där. Karate kid filmerna minns jag än med wax on och wax off och alla balansövningarna.
